I’ve been thinking that I may have to…. he was so convinced that there was a baby inside one particular piece of wood. I have also been thinking that perhaps I could help him make a wooden baby, too. And, oh yes, he declared that he reeeeeeeeeeeeeally needs me to knit him some new socks because his old ones are too small and he likes the ones I knit best of all. Store socks are no good. I have to agree with him on that… hand knit socks really are the best…. 🙂

What a joyful little wonder your Bessie is! And how intuitive and creative your little grandson is to know that there was a baby inside that piece of wood!
I had a little celluloid cherub (or two) when I was young but never was careful enough to keep them from getting their little faces bashed in as they played…

Bessie showed me that the size that I love carving the most is around 3 to 4 inches 🙂 And, I am so grateful to our Little Guy, as he is constantly showing me new wonders.

I have been in love with this little celluloid doll and her slightly larger sister all my life. They were my mother’s when she was little, so they are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally old! She kept them in a matchbox along with the clothes that she had sewn for them when she was a tiny girl.

I treasure them beyond words.

I’ve been working on other things, but I will be getting to his little wooden baby soon. And, I did buy his favorite color of sock yarn to knit him a new pair of socks, as he gave me the ‘Bambi eyes look’ and pleaded for new hand knit socks because store bought socks hurt his feet. I can appreciate that. Hand knit socks are sooooooo good better best…. 🙂
